Neighboring Washington Tribal Libraries (NWATL) seeks to gather data to begin to describe the landscape of tribal and non-tribal library engagement activities in Washington state and identify ways for public libraries to engage with their tribal neighbors.

The Centering Washington Tribal Libraries: Building Relationships and Understanding Libraries From the Stories of Their Communities (CWATL) project aims to explore the past, present, and future of tribal librarianship in Washington state. Through a series of face-to-face visits across Washington and a convening of Washington tribal librarians, the project will build the foundation for tribal librarians and community members to discuss regional needs of their communities and the roles of their libraries.
